Do you play 3DMark?!? More points in 3DMark doesn't mean more FPS in the games. 😀

Just trying to understand your post. You mean to say that since 3dmark is a synthetic benchmark and not a game that it cannot be a measure of performance, in either direction, for said games? o_O I mean, at what point are we being pedantic here? Discussing the driver, its downfalls and improvements and interactions with our own testing and software is what this thread is for and it would seem the purpose of your post is deter or discredit that discussion.

This drivers are the fastest i have ever tried in 3D benchmarks 😀 , guys test Timespy and compare with your old results 400~500+ points 😱 . Thank you amd driver team 🙂 .

I'm on 21.6.1 because whql... and just noticed that in radeon settings it is not logging game fps average, only time played... is this a bug? is the average fps showing in this newer version?

AMD skipping v28 and v29 of their driver build, v28 and v29 being WDDM 2.8 and WDDM 2.9, moving to v30 very soon for the public which is WDDM 3.0 what people (dev) saying on Direct X Discord service.

AMD isn't skipping anything, Microsoft decided to skip WDDM 2.8/2.9 and release WDDM 3.0 including all planned 2.8/2.9 features 😉

Yeah, just like DXVA-HD and DX11 Command List, AMD doesn't skip anything! 😉

Should be called 21.8.1... Also, was that a guess or a fact? May as well install the WHQL.

In this version, randomly decides to not apply custom voltage after boot. Wreckfest textures not loading correctly just like it was with UWP version.

Now we got to August, 21.8.1 can't come soon enough.

There was such an issue long time ago but it was fixed.

Btw, since Crimson 16.12 and later, every AMD driver are certified WHQL by Microsoft, applied to Beta/Optional release. This is (maybe) RTG response to Game Cheat Protection like EAC that refuses to run because Driver isn't WHQL Certified.

Yes but is not Full WHQL and it's not widely tested, that's why (if You need full stability) is better to wait for Recommended one 😛 This days we don't need to install driver once in a week 😉.

At least they don't make mistake since pre-adrenaline era that Beta/Optional are True Beta with their own "AMD" signature, that's why some games with Cheat Protection refuses to run. Btw, we only install the driver once in a month, so that's normal for monthly updated driver.

Here(Win 10 + 5600XT) Photoshop seems not to like 21.7.1 or 21.7.2 and DxO NIK Collection v4.1.1.0 does not like Enterprise 21.Q2.1 and anything from 21.6.1 or above, at every reboot a MSG appears: "Your hardware settings have changed. Please reboot your computer for these changes to take effect." https://i.imgur.com/LkhZyQm.png Now using the 21.6.1(WHQL) and changed the atieclxx.exe & atiesrxx.exe with the ones from Radeon PRO Software for Enterprise 21.Q2.1 (July 27, 2021) and it fixed.
